[PATCH] Support of UCS2 for SMS/USSD

[Harald Welte]

Hi Pavel,

sorry to be the party pooper, but I don't like the libosmocore patch for
two reasons:

1) a popen to the locale command is really ugly.  First of all, it will
   synchronously block the process issuing that command.  Typical
   libosmocore-using processes are single-threaded and expect library
   calls to be non-blocking.  Secondly, I really hate the idea of
   spawning other processes, executing other executables.  It sounds
   lieke an ugly hack.  Is there no way to get the information
   programmatically, e.g.  by using localeconv(3) ?

2) the function "ucs2_to_utf8_decode" is cluttering the global namespace
   even further.   Yes, it is in principle not a function related to
   gsm, but I'd still appreciate if it would start with osmo_ or gsm_
   prefix in order to make sure we don't clash with applications or
   other libraries using the same symbol name.
